By a strange coincidence, it all started in Cambridge… again. Founded as Kelseus Ltd., the company which became Antics Technologies in 2004 has been interested and involved in a market they helped create: previz. And for the first couple years, their Antics product was priced as such - something extremely affordable for pro studios looking for a previz solution, but something considered a bit steep for the average hobbyist.
But some interesting things have happened in the past year. iClone’s John Martin fired a shot across the bow of the machinima world at the 2006 Machinima Film Festival when it stepped forward into a growing awareness of intellectual property rights issues surrounding machinima, and provided a solution: a rights-free creation platform.

ASIDE: I’m really coming to appreciate the value of taking a more centralized approach for releases, versus releasing at a dozen different video sharing sites. It’s of particular significance when releasing regular (weekly) content. With all the promo notices, uploads, etc., it’s a really time consuming process for each release. I’m glad I chose to release these one at a time like this, it’s been very educational on the subject of maximizing efficiency.
